Etro Taps Italian Supermodel Bianca Balti for New "Vela" Bag Campaign

Etro just announced the release of Marco de Vincenzo's first-ever bag for the brand, inspired by the "nautical world."

Dubbed the "Vela," the new bag has been developed with a sharp, defined silhouette and contours to "cut through the wind like a sail. Boasting a V-shaped closure and flexible zipper, the bag features an engraved Etro logo on one side of its chain, and Pegasus adorning the other -- designed with the same technique utilized to mint coins.

The bag also boasts a detachable shoulder strap, allowing its wearer to style it over the shoulder or as a cross-body bag. Crafted with calfskin, the new bag is set to arrive in a classic palette of black, ivory and "Gianduja Chocolate" alongside a selection of seasonal colorways.

To celebrate the brand's newest release, Etro teamed up with Italian supermodel, Bianca Balti, for a sultry campaign showcasing the Vela's supple skin and curves.

Take a look at the new design above, available in large and medium sizes. To purchase the Vela, head to Etro's website.
